Jazz and Blues

Jazz music has been around since the beginning of the last century, when it developed in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans lends its melting pot appeal and unique flavor to Jazz music, which incorporates a variety of instruments including clarinets, drums, saxophones, trombones, and trumpets. One of the most famous American Jazz musicians was Louis Armstrong, and some popular contemporary Jazz musicians include Kenny G. and Buddy Guy.

Blues got its name from its extensive use of blue notes. These are low-pitched notes that are common across both Jazz and Blues music. Blues emerged in the latter parts of the 19th century in African American communities in the Southern United States. At first developing amongst agricultural workers, Blues music eventually spread north and even resulted in the creation of other genres such as Rhythm and Blues (R&B). Like Jazz, Blues music incorporates clarinets, drums, saxophones, trombones, trumpets, and other instruments along with vocals. Modern Blues artists include Etta James, B.B. King, and Taj Mahal.
